About Jennifer
Jennifer Phillips works with people on stress, anxiety, relationship and family problems, trauma and abuse, and related issues such as infertility and narcissistic abuse. She uses a client-centred and mindfulness-informed approach and has eight years' professional experience. Jennifer is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).
Her practice focuses on helping people talk through immediate concerns and build ways of coping that fit everyday life. Sessions typically involve listening to what matters most to the client, reflecting back what is heard, and gently guiding attention to present-moment experience and patterns of thought or behaviour. This can help with panic attacks, low mood, grief, or problems with self-esteem and relationships.
Jennifer also works with issues linked to relationships and family life, including blended family concerns, infidelity, jealousy and codependency. She supports people facing fertility and parenting stresses, and those dealing with loss or compassion fatigue. Her work addresses practical effects of these problems, like sleep disturbance, worry and difficulties at work.
Her use of mindfulness techniques aims to increase awareness of physical sensations, thoughts and feelings in the moment. The client-centred stance means the client sets the pace and agenda for each session. Over time this combination is intended to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try different ways of responding.
Jennifer sees international clients and provides counselling in English. Before a first session she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and to schedule an initial appointment through the online booking route.
How client-centred and mindfulness approaches work online
Client-Centred Therapy emphasises the client's own perspective. The counsellor listens closely, reflects what they hear and follows the client's priorities. This approach helps when someone needs space to talk through relationship stress, grief or low mood. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention practices and noticing of bodily sensations and thoughts. It can reduce reactivity in anxiety, panic and compulsive behaviours by increasing present-moment awareness.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals and preferences in early sessions and agree together which methods to use. That might mean more listening and reflection at first, with mindfulness exercises introduced later if helpful. The plan is reviewed as progress is tracked.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online counselling can make fitting sessions into daily life easier, for example by removing travel time or allowing a check-in during a break. It can also allow shorter phone check-ins when bandwidth or time is limited. Registered or accredited professionals often find online work helpful for continuity of care and for people who need flexible scheduling.
